Glimmer glass 3

Very nice lens filter, some might think it looks too strong but I love how much it adds to my photos. Recommend any version of their glimmer glass.

Glimmerglass 3

Tiffen filters are always good quality and this is no exception. The effect is noticeable but not to the point where it makes the image look bad. I will definitely use this for a certain type of shot and not an every shot scenario.

Subtle but pleasant.

Subtle but pleasant effect, softens things slightly and gives a small amount of bloom without impacting overall contrast. Somewhat absurdly the description says that the sparkling filter will instill confidence in your subjects while shooting portraits but my friend just thought my lens was dirty, so take that claim with a grain of salt.

Soften it up

I love the way it makes highlights look. On my daily camera I don't need clinical sharpness. A little softness and halation gives the photos a bit more character for me.

Using it on an X100V and I'm really liking the results I'm getting.

A filmmakers friend

I really appreciate this lens filter. Images with heavy highlights or practical lighting looks much more pleasing and less digital. Highly recommend if you're going for a more filmic look.

My "go to" filter for human subjects.

If I am taking photos of family this filter is my "go to" tool! Love the warm color on skin tones.
